Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2B, fig. 2D, fig. 2G and fig. 2H, in the present embodiment, the adjusting module 100a includes a frame 110a, an optical element 120a, an elastic element 130a and at least one adjusting element (e.g., a first adjusting screw 140a 1). The optical element 120a is fixed to the elastic element 130a, and the elastic element 130a is detachably assembled on the frame 110 a. The frame 110a and the elastic member 130a fix the optical member 120 a. The elastic component 130a includes a fixing portion 131a, a first elastic portion 133a and a second elastic portion 135 a. The fixing portion 131a of the elastic member 130a is fixed to the optical member 120 a.
The first elastic part 133a includes a first hook 133a1 and a first elastic arm 133a2 connected to each other.
The first elastic arm 133a2 is connected to the fixing portion 131a, and the first hook 133a1 is assembled to the frame 110 a.
The second elastic part 135a includes a second hook 135a1 and a second elastic arm 135a2 connected to each other.
The second elastic arm 135a2 is connected to the fixing portion 131a, and the second hook 135a1 is assembled to the frame 110 a.
The frame 110a has at least one through hole (e.g., the first through hole 115a), and at least one adjusting member (e.g., the first adjusting screw 140a1) is disposed through the first through hole 115a and abuts against the optical element 120a, more specifically, the inner surface of the first through hole 115a is threaded to provide the first adjusting screw 140a1 with rotational movement. In particular, when the first adjustment screw 140a1 is adjusted, the optical element 120a is displaced relative to the frame 110a in a plane perpendicular to the incident light axis X1 (shown in fig. 2G). When the first adjustment screw 140a1 applies a force to the optical element 120a in the first direction D1 parallel to the screw axis (i.e., the first axis a1), the optical element 120a is pushed to displace relative to the frame 110a in the first direction D1. At this time, the first elastic arm 133a2 and the second elastic arm 135a2 are elastically deformed, so that the first elastic portion 133a and the second elastic portion 135a provide a reaction force opposite to the first direction D1. When the first adjustment screw 140a1 moves in a direction parallel to the first direction D1, the first elastic portion 133a and the second elastic portion 135a provide a reaction force opposite to the first direction D1 to push the optical element 120a to move in a direction opposite to the first direction D1 with respect to the frame 110 a.
More specifically, the adjusting module 100a of the present embodiment further includes a first lens 150, and the frame 110a includes a positioning opening 113. The optical assembly 120a includes a carrier 122a and a second lens 124 a. The first lens 150 is fixed in the positioning opening 113 of the frame 110a, and the bearing seat 122a bears the second lens 124 a. When the first adjustment screw 140a1 is adjusted, the second lens 124a of the optical assembly 120a is displaced relative to the first lens 150 on a plane perpendicular to the incident optical axis X1. As shown in fig. 2G and 2H, since the second lens element 124a has a refractive index, when the incident light passes through the first lens element 150 and enters the second lens element 124a at different positions, the light path of the emergent light can be changed. When the second lens 124a is displaced relative to the first lens 150 on a plane perpendicular to the incident light axis X1, the emergent light axis X2 is shifted from the incident light axis X1, for example, the emergent light axis X2 is not parallel to the incident light axis X1, so as to adjust the position of the light beam entering the integrator (not shown) through the second lens 124 a. In short, the adjusting module 100a of the present embodiment can displace the second lens 124a on a plane perpendicular to the incident light axis X1, thereby adjusting the position of the light beam entering the integrating rod (not shown) through the second lens 124a, which has better optical efficiency.
In detail, referring to fig. 2A to 2D, the frame 110a of the present embodiment includes a main body 112A, a first side edge S1 located on the main body 112A, and a first card slot 118 a. The first card slot 118a and the first side edge S1 are disposed corresponding to each other. Specifically, the first slot 118a and the first side edge S1 are disposed on opposite sides of the positioning opening 113, and a side of the first slot 118a is parallel to the first side edge S1. During the assembly process, the locking member 160 penetrates through the locking hole 132a of the elastic element 130a and is locked in the locking hole 123 of the supporting base 122a, so as to lock the elastic element 130a on the supporting base 122a of the optical element 120 a. Then, the optical element 120a and the elastic element 130a are assembled to the frame 110 a. At this time, the optical element 120a is located between the frame 110a and the elastic element 130 a. The first hook 133a1 is engaged with the first side edge S1, and the second hook 135a1 is engaged with the first engaging groove 118a, so that the frame 110a, the optical element 120a and the elastic element 130a are assembled together by friction and elasticity, thereby completing the assembly of the adjusting module 100 a. When the position of the optical element 120a relative to the frame 110a is to be adjusted, the first adjusting screw 140a1 can be rotated to move the optical element 120a in a direction parallel to the first direction D1, so as to adjust the position of the optical element, so that the light beam can strike a better position (e.g., the entrance of the integrating rod) and achieve better optical efficiency.
Referring to fig. 2A to 2F, in order to further adjust the optical assembly to a proper position, the elastic assembly 130a of the present embodiment may further optionally include a third elastic portion 137a and a fourth elastic portion 139a, and the frame 110a may further include a second engaging groove 119a and at least one boss protruding from the main body portion 112A, such as the first boss 114a and the second boss 116 a. The main body 112a further includes a first side edge S1 and a second side edge S2 perpendicular to each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the included angle between the first side edge S1 and the second side edge S2 may be between 60 degrees and 90 degrees. The first boss 114a and the second boss 116a are respectively located at the first side edge S1 and the second side edge S2. The at least one through hole includes a first through hole 115a and a second through hole 117 a. The first boss 114a has a first through hole 115a, and the second boss 116a has a second through hole 117 a. The first engaging groove 118a and the first protruding seat 114a are disposed corresponding to each other. The second engaging groove 119a and the second boss 119a are disposed corresponding to each other. In detail, the first engaging groove 118a and the first protruding seat 114a are disposed on two opposite sides of the positioning opening 113, and the second engaging groove 119a and the second protruding seat 119a are disposed on two opposite sides of the positioning opening 113. More specifically, a side of the first slot 118a is parallel to the first boss 114a (a side of the first slot 118a is parallel to the first side edge S1), and a side of the second slot 119a is parallel to the second boss 116a (a side of the second slot 119a is parallel to the second side edge S2).
More specifically, the first hook 133a1 of the embodiment is slidably fastened to the first side edge S1 of the frame 110a and defines a first accommodating space C1 with the first elastic arm 133a2, wherein the first protrusion 114a is located in the first accommodating space C1. The third elastic part 137a includes a third hook 137a1 and a third elastic arm 137a2 connected to each other. The third hook 137a1 is slidably fastened to the second side edge S2 of the frame 110a and defines a second accommodating space C2 with the third elastic arm 137a2, wherein the second convex seat 116a is located in the second accommodating space C2. The second hook 135a1 is slidably locked in the first slot 118a of the frame 110 a. The fourth elastic part 139a includes a fourth hook 139a1 and a fourth elastic arm 139a2 connected to each other. The fourth hook 139a1 is slidably fastened to the second slot 119a of the frame 110 a.
Here, the length of the third elastic arm 137a2 is equal to the length of the first elastic arm 133a2, while the length of the second elastic arm 135a2 is greater than the length of the first elastic arm 133a2, and the length of the fourth elastic arm 139a2 is equal to the length of the second elastic arm 135a 2. That is, the length of the first elastic arm 133a2 is smaller than the length of the second elastic arm 135a2, and the length of the third elastic arm 137a2 is smaller than the length of the fourth elastic arm 139a2, so that the elastic element 130a has enough moving margin to prevent the elastic element 130a from being pushed to arch when the adjustment member is adjusted. Preferably, the structure of the first elastic portion 133a is substantially the same as that of the third elastic portion 137a, and the structure of the second elastic portion 135a is substantially the same as that of the fourth elastic portion 139 a.
Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2B and fig. 2F, the at least one adjusting element of the present embodiment includes a first adjusting screw 140a1 and a second adjusting screw 140a 2. The first adjusting screw 140a1 passes through the first through hole 115a and has a first axial direction a 1. The second adjusting screw 140a2 passes through the second through hole 117a and has a second axial direction a 2. The first and second axial directions a1 and a2 are perpendicular to each other. More specifically, the first elastic portion 133a has a relief hole 133a3 (as shown in fig. 2F), and the relief hole 133a3 exposes a portion of the carrier 122a of the optical element 120 a. The first adjusting screw 140a1 passes through the first through hole 115a and the offset hole 133a3 to abut against the bearing seat 122 a.

During the assembly process, the optical element 120a and the elastic element 130a locked together may be assembled to the frame 110 a. The first hook 133a1 and the third hook 137a1 are slidably engaged with the first side edge S1 and the second side edge S2, respectively, and the second hook 135a1 and the fourth hook 139a1 are slidably engaged with the first slot 118a and the second slot 119a, respectively, so that the frame 110a, the optical element 120a and the elastic element 130a are assembled together by friction and elastic force, thereby completing the assembly of the adjustment module 100 a. When the position of the optical element 120a relative to the frame 110a is to be adjusted, the first adjusting screw 140a1 or/and the second adjusting screw 140a2 may be rotated to adjust the position of the optical element 120a to an optimum position, so that the light beam can be directed to a correct position (e.g., the entrance of the integrator rod) to achieve an optimum optical efficiency.

When the first adjustment screw 140a1 is adjusted, the optical element 120a is displaced relative to the frame 110a on a plane perpendicular to the incident light axis X1 (shown in fig. 2G). When the first adjusting screw 140a1 applies a force to the optical element 120a in the first direction D1 parallel to the screw axis direction (i.e., the first axis direction a1), the supporting base 122a of the optical element 120a is pushed to displace relative to the frame 110a in the first direction D1. At this time, the first elastic arm 133a2 and the second elastic arm 135a2 are elastically deformed, so that the first elastic portion 133a and the second elastic portion 135a provide a reaction force opposite to the first direction D1.
